Speaking of bonuses, check out this incredible Rich Hazelnut Bundt Cake recipe that is melt-in-your-mouth good!

Oh Nutella, you make this world better and my life better and this cake better. Like so much better. I want to find the person who invented Nutella and plant a big fat one on them. I suspect I’m not the only one, so it’s probably best they stay in hiding. As long as they keep producing the gooey, hazelnutty deliciousness, I’m totally fine with that.

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
1 cup Hazelnut Spread
1 cup milk {I used 2%}
Powdered sugar for topping

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a bundt pan and set aside.

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. In a stand mixer {you can use a hand mixer instead} cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, pulsing after each addition. Then add the hazelnut spread and mix until combined. Add about half of the milk and half of the flour mixture and mix for a few seconds. Then add the remaining milk and the remaining flour mixture and mix just until combined. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy.

THE FINE PRINT:

5 entries per person/ip address. If you cheat, you will totally be disqualified.

This giveaway is only available to US residents.

This giveaway ends on Sunday, December 14th at 6pm MST and the winners will be announced in the Monday, December 15th edition of Mornings with Mavis. You will be notified via email and have 48 hours to claim your prize. Prize will be forfeited within 48 hours if not claimed.

Safeway is sponsoring this giveaway. They did compensate me for this post, but I would rave about Safeway even if they didn’t because I love me some Safeway!

Good Luck! I hope you win.

Peace Out Girl Scouts!
